The Sky is the Limit

Monday, July 25, 2011

Happy Monday! It's my birthday today so I'm actually on a little getaway with my hubby, but through the wonders of modern blogger, I've (crossing my fingers it works, since it hasn't the past two Mondays) scheduled this post ahead of time. It's Monday and that means it's Mojo Monday, and time for a Round or Square sketch. This week's sketch was designed by Stephanie Kraft.

I went for the square version this month because I was too lazy to pull my Grand Calibur out to cut big enough circles for my images. Actually, I've decided that I'm a pretty lazy stamper. So many decisions are made based on how easy it is to get to the item I need! LOL

Anyhow, this card uses the Splendid collection by Authentique and the adorable Away We Go set from The Cat's Pajamas. I love this little sentiment, and thought it very fitting for beginning the journey of the next chapter in my life. I'm truly starting to believe that the sky is the limit and I can accomplish so many of the goals I once thought were out of reach. Hooray!

Well, I've got to finish packing for our little getaway, so I'll just leave you with the sketch, the enabler's list and a wish that you'll exceed your own expectations today!

Happy Birthday, Julee! Yes, I truly believe the sky is the limit for you! Your work is living proof that you can do ANYTHING, and you do everything to perfection! Love this little ditty...especially that bingo card, and the papers, and the buttons and of course, our sweet flying bunny!! Have a great day today!

Just heard it is your birthday today ---HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope you have a wonderful time celebrating. God Bless You.I love your card for this week's Mojo Monday sketch. It has a fun, vintage feel to it - love the DP you've used. I look forward to trying this sketch too.

Hope you have a happy birthday, Julee! A getaway sounds like the perfect present!And as far as the "lazy stamper" goes...I would love to see what you create if handiness were not a factor! I think your work is pretty darn spectacular...it's hard for me to imagine it getting any better!~Enjoy your time away~

Happy Birthday to a truly amazing woman! Hope you're having (had?) a fantastic getaway! There is no doubt in my mind that you can succeed at anything you put your mind to. Excited for your breakthroughs! Your card could not be any more adorable! The papers, colors, sketch execution -- everything -- are all spectacular, just like you!
